A common iora (Aegithina tiphia) bird backflips like a gymnast for insect prey in a neem tree or Indian lilac (Azadirachta indica). They are usually hidden in the leaves and very similar to the greenish-yellow leaf's color that they are difficult to find easily, they can only be identified by their utters variable “chirrs” or “twiii tuiii twiiii” chirping. This passerine bird is seen in wooded areas, scrub, and cultivated lands of the tropical Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. This photo was taken at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 08/01/2023.
